For what it's worth, i experimented with lscp messages some time ago, and got to 1024 sockets pretty quickly, with the lscp option you added for metadata. I'll add another one here for consideration. A midi controller message, something like CC60 (0-64) = "unload all gigs from selected channel". (as an example) Ideal for sequencers, as the user can add an event in a controller lane, and that's it, and pretty well every sequencer on the planet has a means to send CC control data. In initial testing, the "blank gig" works fine for any gigs loaded as ON_DEMAND, but doesn't replace ON_DEMAND_HOLD gigs. (obviously, i guess.)
